Spatiotemporally consistent global dataset of the GIMMS Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (PKU GIMMS NDVI) from 1982 to 2022 (V1.2)

<p><strong>Brief Introduction:</strong></p> <p>The PKU GIMMS Normalized Difference Vegetation Index product (PKU GIMMS NDVI, version 1.2) provides spatiotemporally consistent global NDVI data in half-month and 1/12&deg; from 1982 to 2022. It is created to address the major uncertainties presented in current global long-term NDVI products, i.e., the effects of NOAA satellite orbital drift and AVHRR sensor degradation.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The PKU GIMMS NDVI was generated based on biome-specific BPNN models that employed GIMMS NDVI3g product and 3.6 million high-quality global Landsat NDVI samples. It was then consolidated with the MODIS NDVI (MOD13C1) to extend the temporal coverage to 2022 via a pixel-wise Random Forests fusion method.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The PKU GIMMS NDVI exhibits overall high accuracy evaluated by Landsat NDVI samples. Besides, it efficiently eliminated the effects of satellite orbital drift and sensor degradation and presents a good temporal consistency with MODIS NDVI in terms of pixel value and global vegetation trend. It could potentially provide a more solid data basis for global change studies.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Here we provide two versions of PKU GIMMS NDVI for download, one solely based on AVHRR data (1982&minus;2015) and the other consolidated with the MODIS NDVI (1982&minus;2022). <strong>We strongly recommend an adequate use of the quality control (QC) layer in the product. </strong>Please refer to the Readme file for more details. <strong>We also recommend removing sparse vegetation by a threshold (e.g., 0.1) in trend analysis (Zhou et al., 2001; Liu et al., 2016)</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Major updates:</strong></p> <p>Version 1.0 (December 15, 2022):</p> <p>&middot; The original version of the product.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Version 1.1 (June 17, 2023):</p> <p>&middot; A pixel-wise Random Forests consolidation method is used to replace the linear one.</p> <p>&middot; The data files have been re-organized on a decade basis.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Version 1.2 (August 17, 2023):</p> <p>&middot; The BPNN model without explanatory variables of NOAA satellite number and years since launch is used to generate NDVI values of EBF during the periods of 1982&minus;1984 and all October to April, when the Landsat NDVI samples were relatively scarce.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Dataset Characteristics:</strong></p> <p>Spatial Coverage:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 180&ordm;W~180&ordm;E, 63&ordm;S~90&ordm;N</p> <p>Projection:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Geographic</p> <p>Spatial Resolution:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1/12 degree</p> <p>Temporal Resolution: Half month</p> <p>Temporal Coverage:&nbsp;&nbsp; January 1982 to December 2022</p> <p>Image Dimension:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rows-2160; Columns-4320</p> <p>Units:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; unitless</p> <p>Fill Value:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 65535</p> <p>Data Type:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; uint16</p> <p>Valid Range:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;0-1000</p> <p>Scale Factor:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;0.001</p> <p>File Format:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TIFF(.tif)</p> <p>File Size:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;~8Mb each file</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>References:</strong></p> <p>Li, M., Cao, S., Zhu, Z., Wang, Z., Myneni, R.
